Question
I have a annies award winning crochet quilts and afghan 1995 collectible calendar in my stash of patterns. I have been crocheting the april pattern from the book. and selling the finish project (which I have changed a little) on ebay and etsy sites. My question is, is it legal to sell the pattern or write up my own version of the pattern? And if I can sell the pattern what kind of price would be appropriate?
)
Hi Maria!
Thanks for asking! I’m sorry, but the question about selling the pattern is probably a legal question, and to be safe, should only be answered by an attorney who can legally interpret the law. I don’t know if the copyright laws pertain to a pattern that has been altered or not.
As for the price, I’m sorry, but I’m not sure what to charge. You may want to search the Internet for how much others charge for their patterns.
I am sorry that I cannot be of more help. Check or the Allexperts website for someone who can answer these questions. Go to the News/Issues category, then to “Publishing.” That may give you a start. Good luck!

I have crocheted many doilies, I enjoy working with crochet thread. I have crocheted numerous afghans. But I have little to no experience in the afghan stitch, or hairpin lace. If you have a question pertaining to a pattern in a magazine, book or leaflet, please include the name and # of it, and the page or pattern #. There is a slight possibility I may have that pattern, and can refer to it. Nearly all of my crochet magazines, leaflests, etc are over 5 years old. Many are from the 80's and before. Although I have crocheted sweaters and slippers,I don't feel I have done enough of them to really give good advice as to assembling the pieces, but can give advice on the type of stitches.
